Back Against the Wall

*April 19, 2003--Happy Easter everyone!

With my back against the wall
it's either completely and utterly fall
or go forward and run with the ball.

To stall
is to fall.
To run
is no fun.

Either way, I suffer
without a buffer.

The question that I must pose
in this simple form of prose
is if I'd rather suffer in depression
or suffer in sleepless repression?

The work to complete this
is an utter abyss.
The feelings of hell
equate its fell.

To not finish the work
would drive me berzerk.
The hell of the abyss
would be better than this.

Either way, I suffer.
